Not working for me at all, with my photos or with the samples provided by the site

I always get a variation of the same thing:

The image shows a pattern of alternating dark green and light green vertical stripes. There is no discernible background or foreground beyond the repeating pattern itself; it's an abstract design. There are no objects or spatial depth present in the image.

The image does not depict any people, emotions, racial characteristics, ethnicity, age, economic status, or lifestyle. There are no activities taking place.

Your browser is most likely blocking HTML canvas data. Uploaded photos will often look like colored vertical lines.

There is a privacy setting in firefox that causes this for me on most websites that require photo upload, not all sites, but consistently the same sites.

Ebay for instance, most reverse image searches etc.

in about:config - > privacy.resistFingerprinting

It might not be that setting specifically, but turning that setting to "false" does fix this for me.

There might be a more granular setting that does the same job but i don't know of it.

Not that i'm recommending turning that off, that's your call.

I've also not tried it on this site specifically.

privacy.resistFingerprinting

There are eleven settings that start with "privacy.resistFingerprinting". The first one, which only says "privacy.resistFingerprinting" is set to False by default and I still get the colored vertical lines.

In my setup only three of them are altered from the default values.

privacy.resistFingerprinting privacy.resistFingerprinting.block_mozAddonManager privacy.resistFingerprinting.letterboxing

"privacy.resistFingerprinting" is the one i was talking about specifically, which works for me in the scenarios detailed in my response.

It's been a while since i setup this install but i know i used the arkenfox scripts as a baseline.

I have no idea how much deviation i have for the default baseline so YMMV greatly.

I only mentioned that setting because it's one i use to fix my specific problems and it might help as a starting point.
